My latest woodwork! I do things like this for a while now, but I never uploaded anything. But I'm so proud about this one, I just have to brag a bit! It's made of plywood and I sawed it all by myself! My grandfather did such works and I always found them AMAZING! I decided to do my best to make this heritage live on!

This kind of woodwork was first used in the "Erzgebirge" (Ore Mountains) to make winter decoration for the dark time of the year. Often lighted with candles or (now) electric lights, they should bring light and comfort in the cold winter evenings.

:iconohsztopityougirlplz: You are too kind! This one took me about 40 hours, but it was great fun to do! I'm working on new stuff at the moment. Thank you very much for taking a look and your nice comment!

Thank you SO MUCH, my dear! I'll not color this one, because I love the pattern of the wood so much, but I'll make a colored background and frame to place it on. And I made several more! I'll uploade of them soon!

Not really. They are a lot of work and I'm doing this for fun and to have nice presents for my friends and family. During christmas, we have tons of such stuff here in germany on sale, but mostly laser-cut chinese stuff for a few bucks but even they are more perfect, than I could ever do it by hand.
